Hunting/fishing thread. Open to anyone!
She had made it from one island to the next, until finding Soteria. There were many sisters here. From time to time, as she patrolled and learned the layout of the island, Hemithea would come across one of them - or just the scent of one of them - and turn tail, changing her course. It seemed like a waste of time to live among her sisters like this, but the girl was simultaneously nervous and unsure of them.
Over the course of several days, Hemithea grew acclimated to the main island — but inevitably she sought out ways to reach the smaller ones, eager to find a spit of land where she could brood, plot, or simply be alone. It was a good chance to discover what sort of creatures lived among them here, for the islands were very different from the mainland.
This was how she came upon the Twins; tiny spits of earth carrying spires of tree growth. Hemithea thought to sit beneath the great trees and think, but once she reached the tiny island and the grove, she was too curious of the water - and too hungry. Thus she set about scouting the edge of the island for a spot to stop and fish, or at least scavenge something from the beach as the tide drifted out.

Salish had not yet strayed beyond the main island to explore those surrounding it. It had taken a bit to familiarize herself with this one alone, but not much time passed before she found herself entirely comfortable in her new life, her new home. However, she knew that as an aspiring Scout, she would need to get accustomed to branching out, as well.
She had returned from the mainland a few days ago, on the same day that she had crossed the sandbar to visit the coast. Wanderlust was creeping back in, thus the tawny girl decided that today was the day to tour some of the smaller islands. The very first one she reached was occupied by another sister, the pale-furred woman whom she had only seen at the pack formation ceremony. Hemithea seemed... scarce. Salish did not see her around as much as some of the other women. Nevertheless, her tail wagged at a swift pace as she trotted along the sandy shore, her smile merry and bright.
"Hello, Sister," she greeted. "Are you looking for something to eat?" From her demeanor and the way that she moved, Salish guessed that Hemithea was searching, and further assumed that it was food she sought. That was the most likely possibility.

As the sea slipped back upon the rocky shore there came an opening — like a sigh — as the sand was revealed. Across its smooth surface were pock-marks indicating shellfish. These things may have been interesting to crabs and gulls, but Hemithea was hardly batting an eye as she slipped across the shining sand. Her paws left wide tracks behind her as she searched the fringe of the sea; she did not have much time, and soon she was retreating back to the safety of firm land. Her chances of finding anything edible were slim, but she thought to try anyways.
Unfortunately, while the woman had been preoccupied with her seaside escapades, she had not noticed the approach of a sister until it was too late. The girl's mirthful voice caught her by surprise and Hemithea's fur rolled and spiked. She looked positively offended by the appearance of the other girl, but after a beat she slipped closer and closer, finding a way up the embankment as if to perform a meet-and-greet.
As she got close, she murmured,

No,which was the truth; the standoffish way she so flatly stated her answer was a whole other issue. Clearly the sister had disturbed her, and she wasn't about to play nice with her peace disrupted.

The silver-white hairs along the woman's nape and spine lifted, displaying a rather intense state of displeasure. Salish recoiled only slightly, taking a step back and flinching her face inward, ears splayed to the sides of her head. She had never met a Sister so standoffish, and it saddened her to see that Hemithea felt this way.
Her voice lost some of its heavy joy, emitting more gently this time. I... I'm sorry I disturbed you. It was clear that this was the case. Salish doubted that the other's behavior was personal, however she was able to understand the annoyance she displayed. Hemithea had been enjoying a peaceful day in solitude, and Salish had bombarded her with sickly sweetness.
Do you want me to go? It seemed the best question, spoken out of genuine concern and care for her fellow sister.
